I have these booty things that go over my bike shoes but they make my feet look huge--like a duck. So my feet were cold this morning.

i feel your pain pat... everytime i pick up a damn paper... bad enough regarding the research i'm involved in. just had a "discussion" with SO about big box stores and how they rob economy from local shops.. but it's okay cause the food is cheap.. crappy defense to be sure..

I want more of those surreal "theory of everything" podcasts you did years ago ... like the series where you talk with the guy from DC who keeps claiming wild conspiracy related parties he's been to.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:04am
dc pat:
I just wonder if the economic shite we're having is going to shake up things enough to bring back small, local shops, or kill off everything but online shops, or just solidify the position of the big box stores.

Is anyone else hearing a high-pitched buzz on the FM signal lately? Not on the webcast, just on FM. I mainly hear it when using headphones, but not on other statinos, just FMU, so I don't think it's that particular Walkman.

DC Pat, to answer your question: sales at Walmart are up.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:28am
annie:
oh, pat. i pray for the first and a return to really local economy.. no avocadoes in winter... seasonal fare only... hard choices, but safe and economically austere..

that crazy dreams song had a gary numan riff in it.. which one?

Mon. 12/8/08 10:44am
Ike:
This show is amazing!

Annie, don't get me started on avocados. Why so expensive? Is there still U.S. avocado farmer protectionism driving up the cost? If so, then why? Shouldn't NAFTA put a stop to that? If not then why do we get stuck with the drawbacks of these trade agreements, but none of the benefits? And sure, as long as we aren't using renewable energy, we should return to a local economy with seasonal fare. But ideally we'd have 100% solar-powered trucks bringing us 35-cent avocados from Mexico in the winter.

i figured it out... 30secs left to guess!

tha obama thing has been fermenting since the erection, oh i mean the election. some grass-roots thing, they apparently accuse him of being foreign-born.. avocadoes!!! ahhh, wondrous foodstuff. ike, your comments. agri-business will hold the prices up most of the time as long as they can.

earlier this spring, we went through a very bad "organic" avocado spurt of fruits that went bad and black within 48 hours of delivery.. threw out four cases of avoes and then stopped buying them. they cost about a dollar and most of them are grown in mexico..

If you live near any of the asian market chains, vegetables are unbelievably cheap there. Including cheap avocados, and bags or basil for only a buck fifty.

I lived in a Chicago neighborhood and got my veggies really cheap. No such luck here in D.C. I wouldn't mind, but I have bad luck choosing quality avocadoes.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:58am
annie:
word doug, many people actually drive to albany to shop the asian markets and ethnic stores. the delivery systems are so much more efficient .. have to admit it, food is cheaper in big cities, but at what cost to the environment in the long run..?

Yeah the Asian markets have really cheap fruits and veggies but sometimes the quality is low. Particularly the tasteless cardboard Chinese garlic. I want good strong local garlic for less than $4 or $5/lb. Some farmers in Union Square want $10/lb! Eek!

Stingy, I can't understand a thing you're saying. Are you on Klonopin RIGHT NOW? That would explain the illegible posts. Or did you simply never pay attention in English class?

Mon. 12/8/08 11:36am
annie:
ike, that's outrageous, the price for garlic.. that's exploitation... for shame!!! you can easily find it for 7 or less upstate... time to grow your own, eh?

Isn't growing garlic pretty hard? Also I live in an apt., so no back yard. Actually I live in NJ (work in NYC) but no farmer's markets within easy reach in NJ.

He tempted them with ripe tracks!
He hit them hard with mesmerizing negativity WITHOUT SHAME!
Helpless listerns couldn't deny the attraction...couldn't resist the DJ stalking the daytime danger-zone...a man whose true mistress was an untamed muscal appetite, a guy who carnked up the heat on the coldest days with free-form lawlessness!
...Tearing away the prim dress of drab playlists, determined to leave nothing out of his wide-open conceptual embrace!
...Driven in his unbridled pursuit of a theory, andt this was a theory of....EVERYTHING!!!
